Pattern library discovery for pattern-first development. An agent skill from bybren-llc/safe-agentic-workflow.

  • Works in 3 steps: Check Pattern Library → Review Pattern Index → Apply or Escalate
  • Tasks that involve Database administration
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, When to Use, Pattern Discovery Protocol and Pattern Matching Guide, plus 1 more section

What it does

Pattern Discovery is an agent skill from bybren-llc/safe-agentic-workflow. Pattern library discovery for pattern-first development. Use BEFORE implementing any new feature, creating components, writing API routes, or adding database operations. Ensures existing patterns are checked first.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Database administration. The repository describes itself as: SAW — SAFe Agentic Workflow AI Agent Harness for Multi-Agent Team Workflows Built on SAFe methodology (Scaled Agile Framework), adapted for AI agent teams (Now With AI-DLC!)… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Database administration

Example prompts

  • “/pattern-discovery”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check Pattern Library
  2. Review Pattern Index
  3. Apply or Escalate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 26ca58b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Pattern Discovery loads about 533 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 158 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~533

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Pattern library discovery for pattern-first development. Use BEFORE implementing any new feature, creating components, writing API routes, or adding database operations. Ensures existing patterns are checked first.

Pattern Discovery Skill

Purpose

Enforce pattern-first development by checking the pattern library before implementing new functionality.

When to Use

  • About to create a new API route
  • About to create a new UI component
  • About to add database operations
  • User asks "how do I implement..." or "how should I build..."

Pattern Discovery Protocol

ALWAYS check patterns before writing new code:

Step 1: Check Pattern Library
bash
ls patterns_library/api/      # API route patterns
ls patterns_library/ui/       # UI component patterns
ls patterns_library/database/ # Database patterns
ls patterns_library/testing/  # Testing patterns
Step 2: Review Pattern Index

See patterns_library/README.md for the complete index.

Step 3: Apply or Escalate

If pattern exists: Copy, customize, validate.

If missing: Search codebase, implement following conventions, report gap.

Pattern Matching Guide

If you need to...Use this pattern
Create authenticated API endpointapi/user-context-api.md
Create admin-only API endpointapi/admin-context-api.md
Handle external webhooksapi/webhook-handler.md
Validate API input with Zodapi/zod-validation-api.md
Create protected pageui/authenticated-page.md
Build form with validationui/form-with-validation.md
Add new table with RLSdatabase/rls-migration.md
Test API endpointstesting/api-integration-test.md
